After a certain age you really don't look forward to your own birthday anymore, at least I don't, and in a few days, that dreaded moment will hit me when I must add a number to mine! Now, I'm not boosting, or bucking for birthday wishes here, just stating a fact, it's not fun after a certain age! But I do like to give gifts and when I turned 50, I did a whole month of me here on my blog for the occasion, to ease the pain some, and it worked, so I turned it into a annual event, a birthday bash to celebrate life and the life on my blog just keeps growing in numbers, the good kind! So since it's been awhile since I've hosted a giveaway, it's due time and no better reason than to celebrate my followers! All you have to do to enter this giveaway is be a follower of Country Pleasures and leave a answer to this question: What do you want for your birthday? Now, let's be honest and selfish here, something for YOU other than peace on earth and to win the lottery! I'll leave this open until the 26th, long after I've recovered from my big day! lol The winner will receive a nice surprise giftie so put on your thinking caps and HAPPY BIRTHDAY to all June babies!!
I would like a to have a deck built:)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday ~ I know what you mean about those numbers, mine is coming up soon. I would love an antique stepboard cupboard for my birthday but we would have to add on to make room for it, lol. I would love to be entered in your surprise giveaway.
ReplyDeletethanks,
pam
Happy Birthday! As my grandma always says, "getting older beats the alternative". ;-)
ReplyDeleteLet's see...what would I like for my birthday...a pair of Charlie 1 Horse by Lucchese slouch boots in Mahagony!....and cake....always cake!
Right now, since my oldest son and DIL moved home recently, I would love a really, really good homecooked meal by someone OTHER than me! I mean, they constantly flatter me about my cooking, but I think it's only so I'll KEEP cooking! LOL! Oh yeah...that deck thing by lorijo sounds great too - we have one, but I think it's going to need to be replaced soon.
ReplyDeleteA 1950 Chevrolet pick up! Yeah! Blessings!
ReplyDeleteAn original Hoozier cabinet and a room to put it in.
ReplyDeleteHi Country Pleasures....I'm shug and I am a new follower of your blog..

Happy Birthday to you!
ReplyDeleteMy 51st birthday is coming up in August. I want my sweet kitty cat companion to come back home to live with me again. I miss her dearly.
Happy Birthday :) I just had my birthday on the 4th. I wanted a sewing machine and bought myself one so I've already gotten what I wanted.

I want a rotary cutter and sewing mat. I'm not sure if those are the correct terms though! LOL I've already told my husband, and he's been asking questions, so I might just get it for our anniversary instead!

Happy Birthday! You're only as old as you feel.Could be good or bad..smile...Hmmm I can think of a millon things but since my birthday is right after Thanksgiving a stay in your pajama day would be wonderful,watching movies and hubby cooking for the day ohh and a antique wood trencher would be nice too.Warm Blessings!~Amy
ReplyDeletewell, I would like a very practical birthday gift...a swimming pool!!!!!I'm afraid I must dream on for a few more years....
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to you!!!!!
Hello Sue,
ReplyDeleteWhat would I like for my birthday? I would like some yummy MAGIC cupcakes with extra fluffy frosting on top and pink candy sprinkles. I am thinking vanilla with vanilla frosting and once I ate one, two, three or four I would instantly lose 5, 10 or 15 pounds with every extremely DELICIOUS bite. Yes, that is what I want for my birthday MAGIC CUPCAKES!!!
Smiles, Paula
I'll be the magical 60 in November..what I want for my birthday.. that's hard since basically women tend to think of others but I would like to go to the fabric store and be able to spend a lot of money.
ReplyDeleteSince I just celebrated my birthday yesterday I want to also say Happy Birthday to you. To answer your question I would love to have a laptop. Hopefully that will be my Christmas present from Santa Bear.
ReplyDeleteBut more than anything, I would love to have a grand-baby. It's time. My oldest daughter is mentally handicapped and will not be having children. So it's all up to my youngest daughter. She's married to a wonderful young man and they are trying to have a baby. I pray for a healthy baby to come to us sometime this next year. A precious little one to love and nurture would be a dream come true.
Til next time...
God bless you.

I dont know... if it were my birthday... I would love to take a missions trip some where and help build a home... I love to be hands on ... getting dirty or building things.. so doing something like that on my birthday would be a blast... Plus it would be a party too...
ReplyDeletePeople may not think that is selfish enough but... that has been a desire of mine for some time..
Anyhoot: HAPPY SOON BIRTHDAY TO YOU :) I Love your blog...
Happy Birthday Sue! I just celebrated my thirty-something birthday 2 wks ago. I would've loved a "super-generous" gift card to my favorite fabric store or a sewing machine cover!
ReplyDeleteHave a fantabulous Birthday!
~Xo
Aloha Sue,
ReplyDeleteI met your blog through THe shabby ole potting shed. Boy oh boy you two girls sure bless the socks right off of me with your blogs. They are great and thank you so much! And Happy Birthday to you! In fact you should make it a birthday MONTH!! LOL!! My big wish would be for my adult daughter who has been estranged from her family (her choice) come back into our family fold. My selfish wish would be a girls day out perusing thrift stores, craft/fabric stores or junking with you and our dear friend at the potting shed. Wouldnt that be fun?????
I hope you enjoy your birthday and have a lovely day. i have seen a gorgeous necklace in a local shop, it is a necklace with a small silver feather pendant on it, I have made a couple of hints to my boyfriend, let's just hope he listens haha xxx

ReplyDeleteI am a June birthday girl too. Happy Birthday to you! I have been thinking about your question and I think for my birthday I would like a grandaughter, or grandson! We are praying for this and I would love for my prayer to be answered.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy your blog.
Hi, I'm new to your blog and enjoy it a lot.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to you!
My wish would be to pick up my whole entire house and move it to the country. We are "city folk" and as I get older the noise of the trains, planes and trucks are making me nuts.
Happy birthday Chickie!
